Mr Elder took a strong and friendly interest in their comfort and wellbeing, and was regarded by them with corresponding respect and gratitude as an employer who was just and kind, as well as able. Amongst other acts of his for their benefit, he pro- moted, about half a year before his lamented death, the establishment of an accident fund, by under- taking to contribute to it in each month a sum equal to that which the workmen should raise by subscription amongst themselves, the result being th...at the income of the fund is about five hundred pounds a -year. It is managed by a committee partly appointed by the firm from amongst the foremen, partly elected by the workmen. Besides the lecture to which reference has already 54 MEMOIR OF JOHN ELDER, been frequently made, the views of Mr Elder on marine engineering are set forth in three papers, which were read respectively to the British Associa- tion at Leeds in 1858, at Aberdeen in 1859, and at Oxford in 1860, and printed in the Transactions of that body.
